Having exposed bricks in our homes, whether it’s a whole wall or a simple brick hearth, has become more and more popular.
While many of us do not have the cash (or the space) to splash out on a whole new hand-laid brick wall, brick slips, also sometimes called brick tiles, are a great way to add the same character and texture to your home, for a fraction of the cost with their installation being easier and cheaper.
Brick slips are indistinguishable from a hand-laid brick wall
If you want to inject a bit of urban chic into your home, brick slips are the ideal choice, as they much quicker to install than a brick wall.
And you won’t be compromising on quality. Made from brick ‘faces’, brick slips that have been stuck to an interior or exterior wall look indistinguishable from a real brick wall, once they’ve been pointed.
It takes a fraction of the time to install brick slips
One of the best things about brick slips is that they are much easier to install than regular bricks.
Installing brick slips is very similar to tiling. They simply need to be stuck down onto a prepared surface with tile adhesive, meaning that they are a great way to makeover your home in no time at all.

Building a wall made from full-sized bricks can be time consuming and costly.
Brick slips can provide a cheaper alternative, as they are much quicker for a professional to install compared to constructing a brick wall. Why spend more when the final look will be just as good, if not better, than a full-sized brick wall?

Brick slips are much thinner than bricks, so will take up a lot less space.
Why use full-sized bricks that will make your room feel smaller, when you can get the same effect with much thinner brick slips?
